Pros: I loved it. Identity king.

Cons: Nothing in particular. Stagnating growth could be one.

Pros: Great co-workers, lots of smart people, though most of your team members will likely be at HQ in San Francisco or San Jose. New Toronto office is very nice, with good perks. Toronto co-workers are great, from a breadth of different teams. Very flexible hours, and work from home once a week. Excellent base pay. Honest and candid leadership. Recognition is given regularly and properly. Lots of opportunity for growth. Well-defined career tracks (technical & management). People, in its great majority, put a genuine effort in improving what's not good enough.

Cons: - Benefits (especially vacation) are very basic, even when they didn't have to be, to the point of being annoying sometimes. - HR and workplace management are all in HQ (San Francisco), so getting their attention on many of the pain points around benefits/office issues can be very challenging. - Work/life balance can be tricky with a Pacific-Time based team. - The complicated dev environment & monolithic architecture of the product sometimes complicate the simplest of tasks. - Not the fastest brand of agile is followed in the dev process.

Pros: Stock price went up when I was working there.

Cons: This is the slowest-moving company when it comes to decisions. When a decision is made, be prepared for management to change their mind at the last minute. Okta chooses less superior vendors to do business with to make a business connection and gloat about it, leaving the employees to deal with working with horrible products. IT is a disaster. Multiple requests into IT were never responded to, including by IT management. It should not take IT three weeks to provision access to an Okta app after you get approval. This team is the epitome of lazy and has one of the poorest management teams I have ever seen. The IT management team needs to be gutted. Be ready for your managers to talk about you behind your back and share personal info and concerns from private meetings with your team.
